5:40 am
the original assembly line for its 73787 jetliner in the seattle washington area moving production to its south carolina facility now the relocation will begin around the summer of 2021 boeing will keep assembling other aircraft at the seattle plant while it's not clear what impact the move will have on jobs washington state representative j.t. wilcox said it could affect as many as 900 jobs in a facebook post washington governor jay inslee spoke about the situation thursday when this market comes back so should these jobs. we will do everything in our power to or. treating washington times square is truly. and that obviously includes a hard look at the more than $100000000.00 in tax advantages that are to enjoy the annually by the boeing company. and meanwhile as boeing attempts to get approval for the troubled 737 max to return to service f.a.a. administrator steve dixon piloted test flight of the jetliner earlier this week 737
5:41 am
max has been grounded of course for 18 months after 2 deadly crashes took the lives of 346 people following the flight dixon told reporters i completed a number of test profiles today to examine the functionality of the aircraft and i like what i saw so it responded well for more on this to break it all down let's bring in captain devastator the communications committee chairman with the allied pilots association capitated always a pleasure to have you and have your expertise on this program what do you make of the administrators test flight and his comments following. well i'm a 737 pilot he lived up to his commitment to get in that aircraft and see what boeing 6 this was not part of the certification it was just a leader saying i'm going to be 1st at the stick we don't know what profile he went through you know we reviewed a lot of the training right now and he submitted comments along with the rest of the globe and found some areas that we still think need improvement but they're not
5:42 am
on me and. the m.k. we did not provide comment nor did many other folks regarding net and i think mr dixon said that the m.p.'s appeared much more benign but then he also went on to talk about what the ethiopian pilots and the inability to manually trim that aircraft after was ripped from them basically by the m.p.'s that's an area of focus for us and other pilot groups and regulators and he basically said well as you keep control of the aircraft there's no problem manually trimming it that's what human factor says about nasa we want to make sure that the training provides our pilots and so we've still got a ways to go seems to be there's a. a sprint to the finish line in clearly we're in a final phase but man we've got to get this right and a lot of these issues they're not issues that they're enhanced since that we learned along the way that would apply to the n.g.'s well so we don't want to just walk by and pick the best route out we have to make sure the entire market is is
5:43 am
good to go on and yet can you explain kept ager can you explain the factors that the f.a.a. seems to be missing here and what needs to be done to get the 737 max and place where you're comfortable piloting again because that's really the vicki we want safety for consumers and we want the pilots to feel safe and the pilots need to feel safe as well if we're going to put the $737.00 max back into service of course i say we as in the country and the f.a.a. not myself i don't have any role in this. well you have a role you might be on a mac some day and that's important so clearly what the f.a.a. needs to do is ensure and what we're looking for is the pilot isn't just trained with a profile for success is given confidence maneuvers not just in the m.k. switch which we believe has been fixed but in all these other areas where the aircraft me come on we'll be and you're required to manually recover the aircraft not from a a set up perfect scenario or one wired for success but one that really challenges
5:44 am
the edge of your skills and the edge of the ensemble within reason of course there are things that memory items that the f.a.a. has given retreat for us carriers to use which we believe are still critical on a couple of checklists that are being addressed in a training there's another one it's a human factor we hear all about the distractions not an airplane or an all these other alerts we've submitted comments along with others including us saying you need to provide the pilots once the emergency is over so we don't have to have all those alerts going on constantly a way to dishonor the power of those so they're cleanup items but they're critical items to ensuring that the pilot is connected with this air. craft because if the aircraft is sticks and the pilot is not fully trained given the full confidence to fly it you don't have an aircraft that's ready to roll and we're going to make sure that our voices heard on net already we're very pleased that other regulators and other pilot groups have made similar. inquiry and registered their remarks so it
5:45 am
shows that there's some some f. you can see to all that we're seeing on this and it's going to be interesting because we're going to have to follow where this goes from here obviously what the next steps are with the 737 max i can't leave without asking your expert opinion about these massive job cuts we're seeing in the industry after congress failed to extend another bailout to the airline industry are there any safety ramifications and how is this going to affect the airline employees to see these tens of thousands of job cuts that we're seeing specifically at american and united but but across the industry right now. that it's demoralizing and we're not giving up on congress today was another day of kind of a gaslighting way do we have an imminent and we didn't you mentioned you might see that that's. near voice style of what's going on in the world and unemployment there are 10000000 jobs outside the airline industry that are supported by so these unemployment numbers will continue to rise if they don't take action as far as the
5:46 am
safety aspect goes that's what reus front line workers say care of but i can assure you that the distraction and the stress even if it's financial special stress on our airlines does not help bolster the safety margin we're human beings these are businesses and it all comes into the mix so it's critical for all areas of interest that this bridge be completed they got halfway through with tears we won but right now we're in the middle of the river and the river grew wider and we need to see get us over the river and to say flank is right now we're walking off the edge of the bridge and we have no more fuel to hold while the storm is over the shield we need this day we need it now our country needs this now or we. won't be ready for the recovery and the billions that were invested in tears at one will have been squandered straight talk from captain dennis tator the communications committee chairman with the allied pilots association thank you so much for your expert analysis today. thank you sir. and time now for
5:47 am
a quick break but hang here because when we return there has been a major crackdown on the cryptocurrency industry as exchange bit max it's facing scrutiny from regulators going to bring you up to speed on the controversy with 2 keen crypto observers and as we go to break here are the numbers of the close of all red arrows. it was sort of amazing country with so many friends in russia and i'm very excited
5:48 am
to be here. i love that idea i think i can do. it every night and make a lot of money with. millions and hundreds of me. and. he has a nice. a great wall and nobody builds a lot better than me and i'll build a very inexpensive like a great great wall. just in case you're worried about who's going to pay for it mexico will pay for. it we'll see what happens who knows i always say who knows what we'll see and the failure will be success. always be polite never engage with a negative
5:49 am
a good or confrontational. don't get into any conversation or start answering questions just ask for an attorney. survivor territories. definitely don't want to be going to trial. on cops. you're more likely to walk free if you're rich and guilty or if you're poor and. you've got 2 eyes and ears and one mouth. so you should be seen in here and a whole lot more in your sand if you don't take that advice easy going to dig yourself a hole. everybody's reaching for that you. and i mean it's a rush and i think the resolution of this is there's going to be an honesty with
5:50 am
it's going to go on for maybe months as you already rejected it's. a must to mediate because this fighting is too early on that people actually need to see what territory they can get and i think when the fighting settles down and the lines are drawn and people realize that the not going to move through we're going backwards then they're going to. welcome back there's a major story in the crypto world as friday as topics the activists with a major crypto currency trading platform have been charged with violating us and the money laundering laws now the 3 founders a bit max along with the head of business development have been charged with one count each of violating the bank secrecy act and one count of conspiracy to violate
5:51 am
the ag now each charge carries a maximum penalty of up to 5 years in prison there's a lot of details to go over here so let's bring in co-hosts christiane and ben the crypto experts boom bust for sure ben i want to start with you here give us a rundown of how the founders of but next are accused of violating if they money laundering laws yeah essentially this comes down to something called k y c or know your customer laws right when you have a any kind of banking institution or you're associated with thinking you're required by the u.s. government to know who those customers are and to report their transactions because it's supposed to help cut down on money laundering now we could have a whole argument about whether or not that actually works or whether that's really the intention here i'll be. i'm very skeptical of it but setting that aside for a minute what this really comes down to is essentially you know the f.b.i. assistant director william sweeney says that in this case that max it's 3000 dollars and then its chief of operations as you said or business essentially he
5:52 am
says they willfully violated that banking secrecy act by evading its requirements he says that they at one point the defendants even bragged about setting up essentially the company and incorporating it in another country so they could get around those u.s. banking secrecy laws and essentially saying that quote bribing regulators in the country they set up in was the reason they did so because it cost just quote a coconut to do so there's and again i think that a lot of this comes down to the u.s. government deciding that going to crack down on any crypto currency exchange that it thinks is not giving it everything it needs to know the whole point of crypto currency is so that government doesn't know everything you're doing so there's a huge conflict here between the design of crypto and what the u.s. government wants from it kristie bit it's the 2nd largest crypto currency derivative exchange based on trading volumes what do these charges mean for the future of decentralized fine is well this could actually be a huge positive for
5:53 am
d 5 because as we've been saying all along here it's all about owning your own keys you should have a session of your own coins and buy and trust and to centralize exchange like that max like the fed ex and all the other you forfeited the right to your coins so if you don't own your keys you don't own your quite and that was a risk to all of the users of macs here but luckily for those users this time that macs actually reacted well and allowed the users to all withdraw their funds from the exchange rather than locking it up so operations still function as it should so very good i'm betting expo are honoring that so this recent crackdown by the regulators has shown once and for all that the centralization is the way to move forward and more projects will definitely be turning towards that route so as ben said the regulators complaint against max this time it. actually wouldn't apply to defy protocol since most governance token holders they don't operate a protocol in the same way that centralized exchanges do they operate they manage and they control a play training plan when they have the god view of all of the account holders defy
5:54 am
protocol as instead they are autonomy as they are self executing code and they don't hold any of the user's funds so in the long term this is a good thing but as ben also said there will be a day of reckoning for all of these d 5 products because they won't be able to dodge k y z m l for ever they won't be able to fully dodge all those requirements as the us the regulators will surely crack down on all these crypto products so of course right now there is some chatter and some worry in the community that the fi will soon suffer the same fate as bit max but they look at the market right now if there was real worry on the 5 products you would see you wouldn't see the 5 tokens like moving the way they are they would be plunging a lot more than they are today they wouldn't be bouncing back so authorities right now they cannot directly shutdown any decks do to the decentralized nature in the 1st place so the real the 5 projects not the many scam products are littering the ecosystem i know but the true decks platforms they will continue to build an
5:55 am
unstoppable financial infrastructure with free and open code. but after the announcement of these charges there's been a huge amount of movement of bitcoin flowing out of that mix why are we seeing the . yeah it was as christie said the reason we saw that was because obviously whenever you have an exchange that's being locked up whereas certainly in this case you have the the founders of the exchange being charged by the way only one of them was arrested in massachusetts the other 3 with not been arrested but on these charges but whenever that happens obviously there's this huge fear that all of a sudden you're going to have this immense a lockdown of the exchange and you won't be able to get your points out so that did not happen there is christi just said what's really remarkable about this is that the exchange was not locked down and users were allowed to withdraw their tokens and that's really really important but i also think that as we look at this i mean we are we are coming to an apex between the u.s. government and cryptocurrency the fact that the u.s. government fights of the way that they are only demonstrates how much legitimacy
5:56 am
crypto is gaining such a rapid pace because they can no longer ignore it and now they must actively fight it now kristie i want to bring up a kind of a different story off the situation here venezuela has launched a decentralized national stock exchange built atop the syrian block already launched to the newbie d.v.e. exchanges built to enable venezuelan investors to trade stocks bonds and real estate in a digital form what do you make of venezuela's increasing push into kind of a national crypto. i say 1st off let's not call it a centralized anything because saying that it's essential eyes and the same breath as you say national credit i mean that's like putting lipstick on a pig it's still a pig so this new exchange it's really just digitizing traditional assets such as stocks bonds real estates into e.r.c. token standards and basically running it on block chain so it's nothing groundbreaking it's just basically an overhaul in better bookkeeping and recording
5:57 am
transactions and a more secure tamper proof way. but however the real purpose of this national stock exchange is to enable and empower the use of the petro coin which is the venezuelan oil backed up to a currency so. the local economy was hit hard after the company significantly expanded its sanctions on. response to the petro coin in order to skirt the u.s. sanctions and expand the use of the petro in a wider agenda to give the government tools in order to quote all the mechanisms of persecution and blockade. of course we've gone for a lot longer thank you both for that expert analysis. and that's it for this time if you saw the man on the brand new portable t.v. app which is available on smartphones and tablets through google play and the apple app store portable t.v. . t.v. will see you next.
5:58 am
developers like trump they take risks they're risking that these properties could
5:59 am
blow up and not be worth anything of value and that's what entrepreneurs do and they get taxed the government gives them tax incentives to be entrepreneurial to be property. that's what those tax incentives are for to encourage entrepreneurs to go create millions of jobs by being property developers. in the u.s. . people. from yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous. power plant the owner is attempting to run the beyond its operational limit. just sort of puts a magnifying glass on where's the power in this country where's it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of a traditional. our lie with the people this demonstrates that struggle in the very
6:00 am
real ways. that raid siren without actually being like this. strikes of this story the hospital residential buildings or the things between. into this. and this very town just outside the disputed area has been president they support the country's military operations. i'm ready to do. we will win a land track and soon as possible i'm going to go to karabakh and put a flag. with a new move to a military hospital is a cautionary measure after testing positive.
